Whew. Haven't posted on here in a while! I accidentally made my algorithm post purely political stuff and it got real draining, real fast. If anyone can point the way to anything more uplifting I'd appreciate it. Not looking to be ignorant, just wanting to balance the rage with the bliss

Only by bringing people's costs down and boosting their incomes will people start to feel better off by the end of the decade."

My attempts to correct it were futile.

I thought I'd try out AI, to help me visualise my wedding details. It went about as well as you would expect...
I requested ai place my features into a wedding dress. Gemini came back with the exact same image as the dress I corrected Gemini. Gemini decided to try again, and pasted my face onto the dress itself.Gemini asks what it can do to make it better. I pointed out it has pasted my face onto the dress Gemini repeats the mistake. Only making my head bigger.

BBC NEWS / AFP / BBC NEWS / REUTERS JOINT STATEMENT: “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. "They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. "
JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS

 

“We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering.  

 

“Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them.

 

“We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”

And another little gripe of mine, why are no wedding venues indicating whether they're wheelchair/disability friendly? It's all well and good showing me pictures of the fireplace up close, or the decorations, if I don't know whether I'll even be able to get IN to your venue to appreciate them #ciad

8.8 million people in the UK experience anxiety or depression each week. Just 361,000 get PIP for it. PIP isn’t for the ‘worried well’—it’s for those with serious, disabling illness. Labour knows this. They’re counting on the public not to. #WelfareNotWarfare #DisabilityBenefits

My #OCD has been crippling me over the past few weeks, and the stress has caused a #fibro flare, far beyond my baseline pain. I can't believe I was ever lucky enough to have such a long period without obsessions or compulsions at this level. I'm at least grateful to know this might not last forever.
